How do I get invited to one of the wine tastings youve mentioned in the column?
If you live in Rome you never know. But it may be more fun to host your own blind tasting. Cover the wine labels, number the bottles, pour for some friends, and discuss the different tastes before revealing which wine is which. Its a great way to figure out what you really think about wines without subconsciously taking the price and reputation into account. Choose a theme: a specific grape or region, for example, or wines from a certain vintage. Enjoy the evening.
